[FIXED] Sum columns in dynamic range which are from another two columns

Issue

I am working on making a dynamic table by adding columns in same row, however, range of columns is determined based on two columns colum_start and colum_stop:

df = pd.DataFrame({
   'Name': ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange', 'Cherry', 'Egg', 'Cheese'],
   'ID': ['F1', 'F1', 'F1', 'F1', 'V1', 'V2'],
  '202101': [1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50],
  '202102': [20, 15, 12, 18, 32, 12],
  '202103': [3, 11, 25, 32, 13, 4],
  '202104': [32, 11, 9, 82, 2, 1],
  '202105': [9, 5, 11, 11, 2, 5],
  'colum_start ': [202102, 202101, 202102, 202103, 202101, 202103],
  'colum_stop': [202105, 202103, 202105, 202104, 202102, 202105],
})
df

I want to create a sum_column that sums the columns based on colum_start and colum_stop in column name.

desired output:

Appriciate your help!!

Solution

Use numpy broadcasting for select values between both columns by compare by columns, and chained cumulative sums compared for 1:

a = df['colum_start'].astype(str).to_numpy()[:, None]
b = df['colum_stop'].astype(str).to_numpy()[:, None]
c = df.columns.to_numpy()

mask = (np.cumsum(c == a, axis=1) == 1) & (np.cumsum(c[::-1] == b, axis=1)[:, ::-1] == 1)

df['SUM_OF_RANGE'] = df.where(mask, 0).sum(axis=1)
print (df)

     Name  ID  202101  202102  202103  202104  202105  colum_start  \
0   Apple  F1       1      20       3      32       9       202102   
1  Banana  F1      10      15      11      11       5       202101   
2  Orange  F1      20      12      25       9      11       202102   
3  Cherry  F1      30      18      32      82      11       202103   
4     Egg  V1      40      32      13       2       2       202101   
5  Cheese  V2      50      12       4       1       5       202103   

   colum_stop SUM_OF_RANGE  
0      202105           64  
1      202103           36  
2      202105           57  
3      202104          114  
4      202102           72  
5      202105           10  
    

If small data and perfromance is not important use lsit comprehension with DataFrame.loc:

c = df.columns.to_numpy()

df['SUM_OF_RANGE'] = [df.loc[i, str(a):str(b)].sum() 
                      for i, a, b in zip(df.index, df['colum_start'], df['colum_stop'])]
print (df)
     Name  ID  202101  202102  202103  202104  202105  colum_start  \
0   Apple  F1       1      20       3      32       9       202102   
1  Banana  F1      10      15      11      11       5       202101   
2  Orange  F1      20      12      25       9      11       202102   
3  Cherry  F1      30      18      32      82      11       202103   
4     Egg  V1      40      32      13       2       2       202101   
5  Cheese  V2      50      12       4       1       5       202103   

   colum_stop  SUM_OF_RANGE  
0      202105            64  
1      202103            36  
2      202105            57  
3      202104           114
